Seattle, WA — Rishi, a recent computer science graduate,
has been working across multiple roles including software
development, UX design, user research, and product thinking.
With a hands-on approach, he often takes initiative to identify
gaps and build practical solutions. His background spans both
design and development, making him a cross-functional
contributor in team environments.
Peers describe him as someone who’s always looking for
better ways to fix things — whether it's improving user
experience, simplifying workflows, or experimenting with new
ideas. His projects often reflect a mix of creativity and
structure, combining design tools like Figma with development
tools such as React and Godot.
Rishi continues to explore areas where he can apply his skills
to solve real problems with clarity and impact.
